Thank you sir. I'm glad I started very early because I got a feeling that I'm going to need all the time I can get!

So, here is my dilemma. Last year was my first year creating a display and I used LOR. I had a friend give me about 20 sequences that he had done since he was no longer going to do a show. Anyway, with a bit of creative imagery I was able to change those sequences around a bit to fit my meager...

I live in Texas along the Gulf Coast so we don't get a lot of rain and our weather isn't too too bad during the holiday season. I picked up a sheet of plexiglass, cut it with my dremel and made 2 clear boxes that sit over the lights. I drilled holes in one side of the box and added a small /...

Thank you. It was probably a dumb question but I'm learning. Thanks again.

So, like many, this will be my first year running RGB smart pixels. My show will have approximately 2000 pixels as well as around 300 AC lights and 2 rotating head spotlights. I had originally planned on buying an F16V3 controller but after thinking about it, the F4V3 may be enough for me. My...

I figured it out. I went to "All Models", clicked on the old models and unlocked them. After that it let me delete them. Now I got my models and channels all sorted with no issues so far. Thanks for the help!

For reasons I won't go into, I had some issues the first time I attempted to set up and sequence using XLights and had to start over. Anyway, while I was re doing my layout I had to use different names for the same items because XLights would tell me "A model already exists with that name". For...

I have the image loaded. My original preview is set as my default on the "preview" dropdown menu and the corner view is a separate view. The problem is, is I can't get the corner image to load when I'm in the sequence tab. Everything I do keeps resulting in the corner image outline only (not...

Hello all, hope everyone's new year has begun splendidly. I have run in to a dilemma that I have had a problem resolving so I thought someone here may be able to offer some guidance. My home is located on a corner lot so when I built my first layout it was from a frontal view of my home and I...

That's why I'm starting now LOL! Being new to not only the software but the entire display process, I figured I'd better not waste any time LOL.

I know some have massive displays with 40 trees, 3 megatrees, 25 arches, etc...and others have relatively small displays but I'm just curious to know about how long, on average does it take everyone to sequence a track. I used LOR this past year with all AC lights and could do a song in I don't...

Thank you. I had a little issue the other day with effects bleeding over in to other props that for the life of me just couldn't figure out. No overlapping channels, everything was rendered, sequence was good, etc... Finally gave up and wiped everything and started over. So far no issues.

Where about in Texas are you located? I'm about an hour South of Houston.

Brand new to lighting displays. Ran my first show this year using LOR and all AC lights but now, I want MORE! Switching to XLights and going 90% RGB next year. Definitely more complicated but starting to get the hang of some things. I live in Texas and am a Marine Corps veteran. I now work as...
